Reigning Kia MVP Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets and Warriors superstar Stephen Curry joined them Thursday as the other players voted as starters from the Western Conference. NEW YORK (AP) - LeBron James will return to Cleveland as an All-Star Game captain, and Ja Morant and Andrew Wiggins are headed there as first-time selections. Golden State is an incredible group, but not only is Mike D’Antoni’s squad talented enough to win the series, but they’ll also get the job done and advance to the Western Conference Finals.LeBron James will be All-Star captain for a 5th time while Kevin Durant earns the honor for a 2nd straight season. I was buying into the Rockets regardless, but the injury to DeMarcus Cousins really hurts the Warriors in this series. I definitely would love to meet them again in the playoffs, then just kind of see what happens from there.” Gordon told me. “Well yeah, for sure you know, every year is a different year, but we definitely want to earn our chances to take on the best team … which, you know, it’s them. I spoke with Rockets guard Eric Gordon in March and asked if they want to see the Warriors again in the playoffs after how last year ended.

It’ll be a great series regardless, but I’m going to take the Blazers to advance in six games.
I think that Damian Lillard and company are capable of taking down a number of teams who remain in the playoffs, and are playing better basketball than Denver at this moment. While I love Nikola Jokic’s game and think the Nuggets have a serious chance to advance, I’m going to roll with the Blazers. The Denver Nuggets were able to survive a near first-round upset at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, and now they draw a red-hot Portland Trail Blazers team. It may not happen, but I’m not sold any team in the East can take down the Bucks this season, and I’m backing the Greek Freak. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t just playing at an NBA level, he has a legitimate case to top James Harden for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award. Although I love the play of Kyrie Irving and think Brad Stevens is an incredible coach, the Bucks will be a tough out. 4 seed with the Milwaukee Bucks holding the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
2 seed last season, but enter this series as the No. NBA fans are treated to another rematch from the 2018 NBA Playoffs, and this one also went to seven games. It’s the underdog pick, not a popular one, and they have a lot of work to do, but I’ll stick with Philly.īoston Celtics vs. More importantly, winning one game on the road will be a tall task, but the Sixers have the talent if they’re firing on all cylinders. To be clear, it’s going to be a brutal task to slow down Kawhi Leonard and company. It also doesn’t change the fact that I think Joel Embiid and company can win the series.įollow the Heavy NBA Facebook page for all the latest stories, rumors and viral content! Although the Sixers dropped the first game 108-95, the outcome wasn’t a complete and total shock. I bought into the 76ers as a team capable of upsetting the Raptors in this series, but Game 1 likely caused some doubt for those who picked Philly. We’ll start with the Eastern Conference and breakdown one series which started early, as the Toronto Raptors defended their home court by rolling past the Philadelphia 76ers.
